Fantastic software with affordable options including free. Extremely extensive library of modules.
What do you like best about the product?
It's free and given I have two start ups in pre-seed round that is a god send. It is fantastic software that I use on all my servers. From basic ssh bouncers to more complex strategies.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is really nice, but things can get a bit hairy when you start deploying more complicated bouncers. It's no longer a click and deploy experience and many bouncers I use are community submitted so documentation is hit or miss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is serving as a augmentation to the base firewall and also as an IDS system for all my servers. It is easy to use that dashboard to quickly get a glance at all my nodes and their security status.

An useful instrument for cybersecurity
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to use.
- Many possibilities to integrate it, defining golang bouncer scripts.
- Collaborative cyber threat intelligence.

What do you dislike about the product?
- It should offer Crowdsec Web Panel, also as self-hosted service, on the server where Crowdsec is installed.
- Missing the ability to use custom blocklists in Web Panel, with the possibility to enable only two blocklists for free users.
- A map summarizing the attacks collected and custom alert filters would be appreciated.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to detect and manage intrusions.
Easy to install and configure crowd powered fail2ban
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to install and configure.
Web gui shows useful stats and lookup for bad ip addresses.
Running CrowdSec will help add to the community block list

What do you dislike about the product?
The most useful blocklist like the VPN list is paywalled.
Pricing is a mystery.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blocks most bots and bad actors on all services on the server
It's a real life-saver in terms of hosting stuff
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about it is it's open source nature. By parsing logs you can block bad actors just like you would with fail2ban - but with grok patterns which are way easier to write and implement. New parsers are easily constructed and it's really easy to keep a ton of bad traffic out of your network.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bad thing about it is that you'd have to get a premium subscription in case you want more 'signals' than you share. Mostly ssh and http scenarios do although cover most of your bases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Crowdsec itself saves me a lot of CPU load by keeping nasty IP addresses at bay. I had a 15% load decrease on the hypervisor which may not sound like much. In my case it was around the CPU power that a complete Linux VM would need.
A simple yet brilliant idea.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple installation and usage. Supports most applications from the start.
A web (cloud) console. Ability to import more IPs to block and export.

What do you dislike about the product?
The console has little control over the agents. I'd like it to be more usable.
Ability yo control more aspects of the agent. Ability to customize block lists (for example ability to download from specific source)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing blocklists via a simple interface and providing basic security abilities for free.
Creating a blocklists for firewalls like pfSense, Fortigate and such.

Simple, yet powerful tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use:
One of the things that CrowdSec does great is its simplicity. Within a few minutes, I can install CrowdSec, configure it and install a bouncer to protect my servers against cyber attacks.
Flexibility:
CrowdSec is highly flexible in how it can remediate attacks. Many solutions will respond to an attack with a hard firewall block, while firewall blocks are an effective measure, it's false positive prone. CrowdSec allows you to apply the least restrictive remediation against an attack or go as aggressive as you like.
Crowdsourced Threat Intelligence:
Cyber attacks are getting increasingly sophisticated, easy to carry out and widespread, traditional methods of detecting malicious IP addresses are no longer effective. CrowdSec's solution to this is a collaboration with everybody from hobbyists and small businesses to large-scale enterprises like Google, Microsoft and Netflix. When everybody bands together, we can better understand the threat landscape and introduce strong security controls that work for everybody.

What do you dislike about the product?
Scenarios mainly focus on scanners/brute force attacks:
Many collections and scenarios only protect against brute force attacks, security scanners or bots scanning the internet. I'm not saying not to have scenarios against scanners and brute force attacks, but many of these attacks are harmless for a well-configured and up-to-date server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a plug-and-play solution that gives me a great deal of control over responding to cyber threats with next to no false positives.
Great addition to secure your web applications
What do you like best about the product?
Relatively easy to set up on individual servers and provides excellent front-line protection for web applications, including WordPress. It also integrates with self-hosted software like AdGuard Home.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't particularly appreciate that they hide their costs if you want more than two IP block lists. I've contacted them several times to get a price but have never heard back. The integration with OPNsense is lackluster and can be improved as there isn't much you can configure via the GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CrowdSec blocks "bad actors" IP addresses and helps block anyone trying to brute force their way into your application or server. It provides more confidence in terms of security.
Best Plateform for Crowd Security
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can connect all of my servers to the centralized dashboard and see what is happening with them all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that some of our services do not have official collections and parsers and we often have to write custom solutions for them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to get a lot of SSH bruteforce attempts along with several bogus HTTP requests. We were able to mitigate them using CrowdSec.
Easy to use for private and enterprise-users
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and there are already many extensions for the most popular software products. Crowdsec is at home on all the latest operating systems, which makes it easy to manage. And its open source!
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is in English, there is no German. Only the most popular products are supported directly. For special programs, you have to become active yourself to fill CrowdSec with data.
The free plan for private persons is already limited and the paid plans are too expensive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing my private servers from the evil internet. This is very easy to do and provides simple insight into who I am currently being attacked by. This way I can protect myself more effectively.
Excellent idea
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install agents and bouncers. Crowd blocklist huge advantage
What do you dislike about the product?
Consolé a bit slow. Agents only identified by hash
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Block brute force and propping attempts
